| 1408531 | 2015-09-20 04:39:00 | Did you give WMP a good test? I think it's a new version on W10 After upgrading Mrs Micro's 11" Pavilion 2-in-1 to W10 I decided to test its video playing ability with the most demanding video file I could lay my hands on. 4k @ 100 Mbits/s on an SDXC card. It played perfectly. (For comparison, Adobe Premiere CS6 defaults to 5 Mbit/s when encoding full HD for tablets. So 100 Mbit/s is 20x more demanding.) I also pulled HD from a WD TV Live media player over Wifi and simultaneous relayed the 2-in-1's screen to the TV, also over Wifi. It worked so well I fell into thinking the TV was playing directly from the media player I suppose some of this good performance is due to the Pavilion's hardware (even though it was under $600) but I also wonder if WMP has been made more efficient (I like MPC-Classic the best on my W7pro64 desktop but it often stops working) Strange media player classic has always worked flawlessly for me, I did have the black edition for a couple of years too which has some extra features. |

| 1408533 | 2015-09-20 09:41:00 | Thanks for that link Blanco. I installed DVDfab Media Player (accidentally got the free version) and it showed exactly the same problems as MPC-HC! At which point I realised the problem was me, not MPC-HC. I did some digging and found that a utility called PrecisionX or something that provides an overclock GUI for my EVGA GTX970 is the culprit. I closed it and everything is now fine. (I should have twigged earlier - PrecisionX interferes with Google Earth Pro) Should I have downloaded the Pro version of DVDfab's Media Player? |

| 1408534 | 2015-09-20 09:48:00 | Actually I've just updated to the Pro version. All I had to do was insert the promo code into the version I already had |
